What M7 Is
EVERY KEYNOTE
Is a Turning Point.
M7’s speaking engagements are the highest-ROI way to bring the firm’s intelligence into your organization. Every keynote is custom-built around your industry, your audience, and the moment you’re in — and every one ends with a specific, staged action plan your team can implement the following Monday.

Why M7 Is Different
EVERY OTHER SPEAKER BROADCASTS.
Matt Blueprints.
RADICALLY CUSTOM
No off-the-shelf keynote. Before every engagement, M7 conducts qualitative interviews with key stakeholders to understand your audience, your problems, and your moment. The talk is built around you — not repurposed from the last event.
PROPRIETARY INTELLIGENCE
Matt’s keynotes pull from a Venn diagram no competitor can replicate: MIT research data, AI startup product roadmaps, Fortune 500 brand signals, and live hardware testing. The audience gets intelligence that isn’t publicly available anywhere else.
ENDS WITH A PLAYBOOK
Every keynote ends with a crawl-walk-run action plan — specific steps tailored to your organization, your budget, and your timeline. Audiences don’t leave inspired and empty-handed. They leave with a plan.
ACCESSIBLE AT EVERY LEVEL
From your CEO to your head of operations — everyone in the room leaves feeling equipped, not talked over. Matt translates the frontier of technology into language that every level of an organization can act on.

Artificial Intelligence · Agentic
Navigating an Agentic World
AI agents are already buying products, browsing websites, and making decisions on behalf of consumers — at scale, invisibly, and in ways that look like human behavior in your analytics. Amazon has banned them. eBay has banned them. The brands that don’t understand this are already behind. This talk breaks down the agentic revolution, what it means for advertising, data, and brand strategy, and how to build a position that survives it.
Audience Takeaways
- What agentic AI is doing to your data right now — and why you can’t see it
- The advertising dilemma: when your ad serves but no human sees it
- How to navigate the invisible consumer journey of the next five years
- Platform and policy shifts to watch — and how to get ahead of them
- Executive Offsites
- CMO Summits

Audience Takeaways

Internet · Media · Web3
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the New Internet
The internet is evolving faster than any crawl-walk-run strategy can track — and brands that could once afford to watch and wait are now dangerously behind. This talk serves as your organization’s GPS for the digital age: a data-driven look at how we got here, where the web is going, and where the Web3 whitespace is that will drive the next decade of brand loyalty, customer acquisition, and digital ownership.
Audience Takeaways
- A clear map of Web2 → Web3 and what changes for your brand
- The whitespace opportunities your competitors haven’t seen yet
